On PIN-confirmed handover
What should be a simple operation turns into delays, uncertainty, and hidden costs.
No competition means you're likely overpaying every time. Without a level playing field, vendors have no incentive to sharpen their pricing.
Endless calls, emails, and follow-ups slow down operations. By the time you have quotes, your schedule has already slipped.
Insurance, quality, and reliability are often unclear. Any vendor can claim to have a fleet, until something goes wrong.
Once you pay, you lose control if something goes wrong. Disputes take months and rarely end in recovery.
Every deal is different, and disputes are painful. Without structure, there's no audit trail and no way to hold anyone accountable.
Managing multiple vendors manually doesn't scale. As your need grows, so does the operational mess.
Anqelba Car Rental replaces fragmented sourcing with a structured marketplace designed for cost control and reliability.
We are a party to the contract, not a noticeboard that steps aside once you have a number.
A single structured RFQ reaches every qualified provider at once. Already know the vehicle you want? Browse verified fleets and send a direct rental request instead.
Get the best price through real competition, not negotiation. Sealed bids mean no favoritism. The best offer wins on merit.
Every provider is vetted before they can list or bid. Mandatory KYB, insurance proof, and a trust score replace guesswork with data.
Funds are released only after confirmed delivery. You stay in control of every payment from start to finish.
Choose providers based on data, not guesswork. Completion, on-time and no-show history feed each provider's trust score, shown beside every bid.
From request to contract to delivery, fully controlled. One dashboard replaces scattered emails, calls, and spreadsheets.
Not every vehicle need is a tender. Anqelba Car Rental gives you a sealed-bid RFQ when you want competition, and direct rental when you already know the vehicle you want. Both carry the same protections.
When you want the market to compete for your contract.
Best for: Recurring contracts, larger quantities, donor-compliant procurement.
When you already know what you need and want it confirmed quickly.
Best for: Short-notice needs, single vehicles, repeat bookings with a provider you trust.
Two ways to source, one set of protections. Tender your need to the market or rent directly from a verified fleet. Pay only when the vehicle arrives.
Tender it as a sealed-bid RFQ
One structured request reaches every verified provider with matching fleet at once.
Or rent directly
Know the vehicle you want? Browse verified fleets, send a direct request, get a confirmation.
Sealed bids, no collusion
Provider identities are hidden during evaluation. You compare price, trust score and tier.
KYB-verified providers only
Only organisations that passed business, identity, insurance and licensing checks can list or bid.
Escrow on every contract
Your money is held in escrow and released only when a 6-digit PIN confirms handover.
One record for audit
Request, bids, award, contract, handover and payment sit on one timestamped record. Donor and finance ready.

Corporate demand comes to you instead of the other way round. Respond to sealed-bid RFQs and direct rental requests from one dashboard, deliver, and get paid from escrow.
Two streams of demand
Sealed-bid RFQs from businesses tendering a need, and direct rental requests from businesses that already picked your vehicles.
Bid fleets or single vehicles
Partial fulfilment allowed. Offer what your fleet can deliver, no more. Split awards are supported.
Escrow-backed payment
The business pays into escrow before the vehicle moves. Funds are released to your wallet after a PIN confirms handover.
Trust score = your advantage
Businesses see your trust score and tier beside your sealed bid. Completion and on-time history count for more than connections.
Earn your way to lower commission
No subscription, no listing fee. Commission is charged per completed contract and steps down as your tier rises.
Group bidding on the roadmap
Planned: partner with other providers to win larger contracts together. Not yet available.
You do not chase contracts on Anqelba Car Rental. Verified businesses either tender their need as a sealed-bid RFQ or pick your vehicles directly. You respond to both from one dashboard.
Channel 1
Businesses post what they need. You bid on what you can deliver.
Illustrative RFQ
4× SUV · 60 days · Project site, Oromia
Sealed bids · closes in 3 days
Channel 2
Businesses browse verified fleets and send a request straight to you.
Illustrative request
1× Minibus · 12 seats · 5 days · Airport transfers
Direct rental · awaiting your response
Both channels settle through escrow. Funds are released after a PIN confirms handover.
Both channels are open only to KYB-verified businesses, so every request is from a real organisation.
Register your fleet
Free to join. No subscription, no listing fee. Commission is charged per completed contract.
Whether a contract starts as a sealed-bid RFQ or a direct rental request, it ends the same way: one contract, escrow, and a PIN-confirmed handover.
Describe the need (vehicle class, quantity, term, location) and open it to sealed bids. Or browse verified fleets and send a direct rental request for the exact vehicles you want.
For an RFQ, verified providers submit sealed prices. You see each bid's price, trust score and tier, but no names until you award. For a direct request, the provider accepts, proposes changes or declines.
The contract is created and your payment is held in escrow. At handover a 6-digit PIN confirms the vehicle arrived as agreed. Only then is the money released to the provider.
Submit business registration, identity, vehicle ownership, insurance and licensing documents. We review them before you can list vehicles or bid. One-time setup.
Open RFQs that match your fleet appear in your dashboard for sealed bidding. Businesses that already know what they want send you direct rental requests to accept or decline.
Hand over the vehicle, enter the PIN with the business, and the escrowed funds are released to your wallet and settled on the platform's cycle. No chasing invoices.
Every layer of Anqelba Car Rental is designed so that businesses can procure confidently and providers can get paid fairly.
Every business and provider is identity-verified before they can transact on Anqelba Car Rental. Providers also prove vehicle ownership, insurance and licensing. No anonymous bidding, ever.
Verified IdentityFunds are held in escrow and released only when a 6-digit PIN confirms handover, then settled through a double-entry ledger. The business keeps control until the vehicle arrives.
Funds ProtectedSealed bids prevent collusion. No provider sees competitor pricing during the active bidding window.
Fair MarketplaceEvery bid, award, handover and payment event is recorded with a timestamp against the contract. One record for procurement, finance and donors.
Full Audit TrailWe are pre-launch, so we will not show you customer logos or traction numbers we cannot back up. Here is what exists today.
Auth, identity and KYB, marketplace, contracts, delivery, finance, master data and notifications, running as a single .NET service.
Businesses post RFQs or rent directly; providers list fleet, bid and respond. Admin review of every KYB application.
A business app and a provider app, both signed and listed on Google Play for closed testing ahead of public launch.
Chapa, Telebirr and CBE Birr are wired into the wallet with signed webhooks, so escrow deposits land in ETB.
Registration, KYB, RFQ, bidding, award, escrow and handover are exercised automatically across 13 modules before every release.
We are onboarding our first verified providers and business accounts in Addis Ababa. Other cities follow once Addis is running well.
As contracts complete, this section will show figures exported from the platform ledger, with the date they were taken. Until then, we would rather show you the product.
Anqelba Car Rental is a B2B vehicle rental marketplace based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Businesses, NGOs and government agencies source vehicles from KYB-verified providers either through sealed-bid RFQs or by renting directly. Every contract is escrow-protected and confirmed by a PIN at handover.
Any registered business, NGO or government agency that needs vehicles can register as a business. Providers must be registered companies or individuals with vehicles they own, and must pass identity, business, vehicle ownership, insurance and licensing verification before they can list or bid.
An RFQ (request for quotation) is a tender: you describe the need and verified providers submit sealed bids that you compare and award. A direct rental is for when you already know the vehicle you want: you browse verified fleets, send a request for specific vehicles, and the provider confirms. Both end in the same contract, escrow and PIN handover.
Providers cannot see each other's prices, and you see each bid's price, trust score and tier but not the provider's name until you award. Blind bidding is always on; it cannot be switched off. You can award a request to one provider or split it across several.
Yes. When a contract is created your payment is held in escrow. It is released to the provider only after a 6-digit PIN, generated for that contract, is entered at handover to confirm the vehicle arrived as agreed. If a provider does not deliver, the money does not move.
No. Requests can be short term (up to 30 days) or long term, and a single day is fine. You can post a one-off request, run a recurring contract, or rent directly for a specific date range.
No. Posting an RFQ or sending a direct rental request is free for businesses. There is no subscription and no listing fee. The platform earns a commission from the provider on each completed contract.
The business pays into escrow before the vehicle moves. After the handover PIN is confirmed, the escrowed amount less the platform commission is released to the provider's wallet and settled on the platform's settlement cycle. Withdrawals go through the integrated Ethiopian payment rails.
Two ways. Open RFQs that match your fleet appear in your dashboard for sealed bidding, and businesses that already know what they want can send you direct rental requests for your listed vehicles, which you accept, amend or decline.
Commission is charged only to the provider, only on completed contracts, and is tiered: it steps down as your trust score and tier rise. There is no subscription or listing fee. Current rates are shown inside the provider dashboard.
Every provider passes business, identity, vehicle ownership, insurance and licensing verification before they can list or bid. Each provider also carries a trust score and tier that you see beside every bid, based on verification and on completion, on-time and no-show history.
Sedans, SUVs, minibuses, pickups and other commercial vehicles, depending on which verified providers have listed them. Availability grows as more providers are onboarded.
We are launching in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia first. Other Ethiopian cities will follow once Addis is running well. If you are outside Addis you can still register, and we will let you know when your area opens.
Register your organisation or your fleet at app.anqelbacarrental.com, complete verification, and either post your first request or list your first vehicle. Our team reviews every application before it goes live.
